What are the advantages of preventative maintenance and the home’s heating system?

1) Safety.

Because heating systems generally have combustive byproducts, these major appliances need an annual check up for safety reasons.

2) Health.

Heating system preventative maintenance also involves cleaning the system to promote clean indoor air quality.

3) Energy savings.

During the preventative maintenance check up, a heating contractor conducts a tune up of the comfort system, tweaking its energy efficiency. Because dirt inhibits the system from warming the home, the heating system works harder.

4) Life extension.

Heating system preventative maintenance not only promotes the health, safety and energy efficiency of the home’s comfort system, but also extends the life of your heating unit.
